Tickled Thursday

Who, me?

I'm a good boy.

I haven't spent the last twenty minutes tearing through the house like it's a racetrack,

pouncing on the other cats

and hearing mom say, "Stop it!" every two seconds.

Nope.

Not me.

I'm innocent.

You gotta love cats.

P.S. You still have time to enter my giveaway for a chance to win the summer issue of Cross Stitch and Needlework magazine. The winner will be chosen on Saturday, August 1.

TUSAL and Tickled Thursday

New moon = TUSAL! It's Totally Useless Stichalong, hosted by Sharon of It's Daffycat. We save our orts (ends) in a container and post a pic. Why? Because it's fun!

My thread orts haven't changed much; my stitchy bug seems to be on vacation. Lately, I've been doing more crocheting, so my yarn orts are leaking out of the top of the jar. No, you haven't missed seeing my crochet progress; it's a secret for now :-) I do have a couple of projects I can show you, but not today.

In honor of my crochet bug returning, I have some fiber funnies for you. Enjoy!

Smalls SAL and Some Fibro Funnies

The Fatigue and Pain Demons have been visiting me this week and really took over yesterday so I'm a day late with my check-in for the Smalls SAL hosted by Heather of Stitching Lotus. You saw my smalls last week but here they are again:

Fibromyalgia is certainly no laughing matter, but if you can smile through the pain, fatigue, prickly skin, etc., it just might be a better day. Enjoy :-)

This one's my favorite; it wouldn't be so funny if it weren't true!

Tickled Thursday

Fifteen years ago, I met this crazy mechanic from Florida. We married a year and a half later, have two beautiful girls, and somehow still enjoy each other's company. I think it's because we both share the same level of weirdness.

Random Photos and Tickled Thursday

Here I am neglecting my blog and all my wonderful bloggy friends. Shame on me! I'm very behind on my blog reading; after Alex's party on Sunday, I hope to be able to do some catching up.

Some random things around my house:

Alex's new shoes. She doesn't know what to make of them. 

The rainbow yarn bowl my beautiful, talented, artistic daughter Hope made me for Mother's Day.

No more yarn rolling away!

She also made me this little box. It had chocolate in it; that didn't last long.

Now I throw my orts in it as I stitch. Every couple days I empty them into the big jar.

Speaking of which, I missed TUSAL (again). It was a couple of days ago. This is being hosted by It's Daffycat. The yarn is probably two-three month's worth. The thread is from all year; I'm trying to fill the jar by the end of December.

I finished the body of the corner to corner blanket I'm making for my nephew, Luke; my sister-in-law is due in June, so I need to get cracking on the border. I'm using Red Heart With Love in Peacock for that.

I still have a lot of roses to make for the Granny Rose CAL, but I added the green to the ones I have. I'm using Loops and Threads Impeccable in Fern. This is being hosted by Astri of Apple Blossom Dreams.

I have some progress to show on a few of my starts; I think I'm the slowest stitcher in the world, but at least I'm still adding stitches. One day I'll finish something.

Pretty Little New York by Jody Rice of Satsuma Street. This is a weekly SAL with Linda and Jo.

Life's Piece-makers
Actually, once in a while, I do finish something. I finished my chart for this month's Smalls SAL a week early, but I won't show it until Wednesday.
I'll leave you with some fiber funnies.
Thanks for reading and looking.

TOWER of TREATS

When I started this chart, I swore that was the title of it. But, when I was working on it, I looked at every scrap of paper I have with it and couldn't find that name anywhere. I couldn't have come up with something like that on my own, so where did I read it? Oh, well. It could also be called TALL Sundae, so either one works.

TIM!

My sweetheart, my best friend, my biggest cheerleader and helpmate. We've been together for almost fifteen years, married just over thirteen. We've weathered a lot of storms together, but we've had a lot of laughs and fun times and blessings together, too.

TICKLED THURSDAY

For anyone new to the blog, this is a feature I have some weeks. I think everyone deserves a good laugh, so I post funny pictures I find on Pinterest in hopes it brightens someone's day.
